Congratulations to Twelve Bridges
on their 51-34 victory over Placer,
a couple of plays was the difference in this game…a pick 6 by TB early in 1st qtr following a td on opening drive by TB on a defensive breakdown putting Placer dn 14-0 within 2 minutes.The pick 6 and a fake TB 4th and 2 at the TB 40 yd line that kept drive alive and culminated in another TB td was brutal for Placer,with TB Coach Chris Beane saying “he did not want to give Placer Coach Joey Montoya the ball back”.Both offenses looked like juggernauts as both Defenses had a tough time getting off the field without giving up a td or fg.There’s a very good chance these two teams will see each other again next month in the D4 playoffs….we’ll see how it all breaks down in the seeding.Again congratulations to TB on their victory!!

Good win by the Lancers. I’d love to see that offense get with current times. In my years following Saint Francis Ball, there was never a shortage of good athletes there. Always tall strong armed quarterbacks who could chuck it with the best of them, great athletic speedy receivers yet they’re so focused on just pounding the ball. I love nothing more than physical football but I feel their run offense could develop more than archaic packages like I formation etc. if they could tweak that offensive a bit by still doing what they like in running the ball but introducing more passing packages, they could give teams like de la Salle, and even out of region teams more consistent run for their money.

I think this is NorCal in general

St Francis
Serra did for a long time
And De la salle still does


Outside of Folsom, St Mary and a few others. It's more of a run the ball control the clock football game here.


Southern California
Texas
Florida
Georgia

More passing the ball and spread offense.

I mean at least that what it seems Folsom got a 5 star QB but I think most of NorCal doesn't have a 2 star or a highly touted QB


Down south and then other states are heavy on the QB and speed

The DLS I watched last night looked like the clear #1 in Norcal. The speed of DLS is something else.

Hats off to St. Francis and the best RB in Northern California Kingston Keanaaina.

He is the real deal!

SI had the script flipped on them tonight and it was tough to watch.

Our QB Soren Hummel was outplayed by St. Francis' QB Aaron Knapp. No Cardiac Cats tonight!

Good luck to St. Francis the rest of the season!

At half, Im sure you were beating your chest and you should. Defensively it just looked like SI had all the answers and Lancers just looked stunned that they could not run the ball. 2nd half blocking adjustments took care of that, plus SI's defense wore down. Dont have the overall statistics but it sure looked like SF time of possession for the game was 80%.

And that should do it as far as WCAL POY. Kingston definitely will take those honors. In a high stakes game like this, your team's best player needs to show up. Kingston in the 2nd half was phenomenal. Hummel was pretty bad. And thats just being nice. He was 7 for 17 for 14 yards. FOURTEEN passing yards!!!

Ive watched enough of his games and sure enough, he still cant throw over the top. He only throws timed 10 yard out routes to Polk or Shelton and really good teams know that and sit on those routes. Robinson of St. Francis did that and picked him off. Hummel needs to be better or whoever is calling the plays need to call better/different plays.

Looking forward to a rematch in CCS Open.

SFL
Oak Ridge 71 Davis 0. Davis please for the love of god get out of this league. If you aren't the worse team in America I don't know who is.
Jesuit 34 Del Oro 14- No surprise here. Jesuit too big and physical up front was able to run pretty easily. Long year for DO.
Rocklin 35 Granite Bay 21- I thought this was the game of the week in SFL. It was 21 all and Rocklin pulled away. Rocklin is the clear #2 in the SFL.
Folsom 69 and Whitney 7. Yeah no bueno. Folsom is just really so much better than anybody else.

Pretty crappy SFL this year. I guess we've been spoiled recently.

Newman looked really good last night. Jumped out to 28-0 Halftime lead and dominated the "Ranch." I thought the play calling was much better on the offensive side of the ball with letting Jentry use his speed to break a few runs which allowed "LT" to get comfortable throwing. Oregon State got a good one in Jesse Myers.

In other key games, Windsor looked really flat early against San Marin which did them in. I think maybe emotional letdown after that tough loss to newman. San Marin travels to Newman next week which will be a good game but I stil think the league is Newmans to lose at this point.

St. Marys played a bit sloppy in this game with an INT on their very first series on offense, throwing directly to an Edison LB. The Rams were up 28-10 at halftime and fumbled twice in the 3rd quarter that resulted in two Viking’s TDs which allowed Edison back in the game tightening the score to 28-23. A couple of roughing the passer penalties were huge, the later one resulting in negating a Ram INT of former Ram QB, Devin Rasmussen, on 4th down. Edison came to play. St. Mary’s needs to clean up their play if they want to do well in the playoffs. This game vs Edison should not have been close at all. The Rams next two opponents in TCAL league play are Tracy (away) and Lincoln (at SM), which should be blowouts for the Rams, just as this game vs Edison should’ve been, but Tracy and Lincoln will be much easier opponents. Kudos to Edison who joined the TCAL just this season and will finish 2nd behind St. Mary’s. The Rams will finish 5-0 in league play and will face much tougher competition in the playoffs.

Acalanes with a huge win over Clayton Valley 28-27

Monterey Trail linemen:

According to Vox Mustangs posts:

D. Sanders: 4 TD rushing
O. Jefferson: 2 TD rushing
C. Coronado: 1 TD rushing

Holy moley... The Campolindo Cougars smash favored Las Lomas 30-7!

Third loss in a row after a 5-0 start for LL... They are reeling!

Cougs move to 3-4, but they are in first place because this was Week 1 of league play. Okay, tied for first...

That was a tough game to watch. The run back on the opening kickoff was a stunning start, but SRV fumbling 2 plays later took any wind that was left out of the SRV sails. With 6 minutes left in the 1st quarter, it was all but over. Sparty was ready to go and running on all cylinders tonight.

Turlock takes down Downey33-14, in probably the worst officiating I’ve ever watched in all my years. IMO, the refs won this game with their one-sided calling of the game. Totally disgusting!

Turlock shut down the Downey offense, and moved at will for the first three drives in the first half. Downey had a short field TD when they recovered a fumble inside the Turlock 10 and then they had a long pass for the second TD. That was the extent of their scoring, all in the first half. There were several unsportsmanlike penalties, including at least one on Turlock, maybe more. One of their (Turlock) initial drives was aided by a 30-yard total penalty, a roughing the passer and unsportsmanlike tacked on. I would not say the refs decided this game as Turlock repeatedly stopped Downey. Turlock also had some lost fumbles that stifled drives, and had an interception (of Downey) that also resulted in an unsportsmanlike penalty for excessive celebrating and taunting. (It should be noted that I am a Turlock fan). The Downey QB had pressure on him all night and was able to scramble for some gains, and it should also be noted that he had some good passes dropped. But the fact of the matter is (any bias on my side acknowledged) that Downey had not played anyone this season, even with a strengthened non-conference schedule, on the level of Turlock and could not run up the passing yards and scores. I can see from a Downey fan's perspective that the ref's calls were factors but that wasn't why they lost.

Alisal beats St. Francis (Watsonville) on a goal line stand as time runs out, 33-27. Sets themselves up for 2nd place and an automatic playoff bid in the PCAL-Mission North.

Hats off to St. Francis and the best RB in Northern California Kingston Keanaaina.

Monterey beats Hollister 25-22, probably secures 3rd place in the Gabilan.
